At this point, I was already observing the terrain.
Then we picked up a few shovels from the yard, mixed the yellow mud with lime, and raised the threshold of each house to the level of our thighs.
Tianlei stared at the threshold, looking at me blankly.
"You don't study catching ghosts and you work as a mason here?"
I touched the dried threshold and whispered, "Zombies can only jump. If the threshold is high, they won't be able to jump in."
"Spread the beans on the ground later, double insurance."
Tianlei asked blankly: "What then?"
"No more."
He slowly withdrew his gaze and looked at me again: "Taoist priests in Chenliu Palace, no matter how big or small, must bathe and change clothes, burn incense to worship heaven, and the altar they build must also be three miles and three away."
"W-what are you doing here?"
This is the difference between northern and southern Taoist priests.
"The Qingwei Sect is a famous sect, so of course they won't use my kind of market tricks."
Soon, we had everything set up.
There are beans in front of the door, and there is a threshold at the door. At the door, I tied the iron chain I brought into a wild boar snare, and the other end of the snare was hung on a tree trunk not far away using the lever principle.
As long as the zombie steps on the trap, the lever will be triggered immediately to ensure that the zombie will not endanger the people in the house.
I asked Zhang Lin to count the number of people again, and the total number of people totaled exactly 40.
At this time, I saw a familiar figure in the crowd.
It's not that I recognize his face, but that huge straw hat.
Isn't this a watermelon vendor?
I raised my hand and pointed at him and asked Zhang Lin, "Do you know this man?"
Zhang Lin squinted his eyes and looked carefully: "It's from Dongtou, what's wrong?"
"It's okay, I saw it during the day." I hesitated: "Is it the melon seller?"
Zhang Lin nodded and asked, "Want to eat melon?"
"No, no, no." I asked in his ear, "Why is this man dressed so strangely?"
"Hey! There's nothing you can do about it. They're all eating in the dirt, and the straw hat grows on their foreheads."
"Uncle Zhang! Let's go inside! It's going to be dark now!"
The shouts from the crowd forced me to shut up temporarily and calm the people down first.
Actually, that's not what I want to ask.
Just to be on the safe side, all living creatures will go into the house tonight and try not to attract the attention of the zombies.
I split everyone up and tried to make sure there was someone in each house.
Zhang Lin and I hid in a widower's home. He had no female dependents, so it was easier to do anything.
At midnight, all the lights were turned off. Zhang Lin hid behind the curtains and listened carefully to the sounds outside.
I leaned against the wall sleepily, half-opened my eyes and glanced around: "Don't look, this has already maximized the defense."
Zhang Lin puffed on his pipe, turned to look at me, and asked in a low voice, "Can you kill ghosts with just a few soybeans?"
"Not killing."
I corrected him sternly: "It's about catching, it's about temporary control."
Zhang Lin's eyes widened: "You mean, you can't deal with them?"
"No, no, no." Seeing that he was a little agitated, I quickly reassured him, "You don't have to worry about anything else. What I can assure you is that everyone here will be safe."
I put the reassuring pill into his mouth, and his mood eased a little.
"Okay, there's no point in looking. Come back if you're supposed to."
The bed was very hot, so I simply climbed down and lay directly on the bed: "Let's see if we can find out."
In the middle of the night, there was indeed a muffled sound outside the window.
Judging from the sound, it was not the same person.
I immediately opened my eyes, took out my phone, and sent a group message to everyone: No talking, no looking.
We have put special talismans on the curtains. No matter what kind of dirty things they are, we are naturally afraid of talismans.
As long as we don't make him angry, it's not a problem to be safe.
The sound outside the window changed from the muffled sound of falling to the ground to a rustling.
Everything was pretty much what I thought, they should have already killed themselves in the yard.
At this time, I suddenly found that the quilt on my body was shaking.
I took a closer look and saw that Zhang Lin, who was lying next to me, was trembling all the time, and even my quilt was shaking with him.
I bumped him hard a few times and shook my head silently, for fear that something would happen.
This night was very painful.
Although everything is ready, nothing in this world is foolproof.
If something goes wrong in any link, it will definitely be troublesome to fix it.
The hour hand pointed to three days in the morning, and a series of screams instantly pierced the night sky.
